You can manage session specific accreditations here. When you offer two different credit certificates from the same session add both the certificates here. For example, Add both AMA and ANCC certificates. Note: Make sure the same certificates are added to the Activity's Manage Certificates set up.

Additional Notes:  When it comes to RSS activity type you may need to create more than one session per each RSS activity. When you want to create a series of sessions for a single RSS activity click on ‘Duplicate’, which duplicates the session with all the information associated with it including speakers, presentations etc. You only need to change the name and dates of the session. You can always make changes to the duplicated session i.e. you can remove existing speakers, presentations, documents and add new ones; add new certificates under 'Manage Accreditations.'
